Reading each page feels as if you’re listening to a friend telling you a story. While a multitude of her poems evoke her life as a well-known actress who feels pressured by modern media, they have a way of making you feel as though you know her personally. In fact, her poems are mainly based on her almost twelve-year battle with depression, as well as her severe breakup with fellow Riverdale star Cole Sprouse. Reinhart, an actress best known for her work on the TV show Riverdale and as an activist for mental health, shares her first collection of poetry in this book. Very few times throughout the book, Reinhart adds red detailing to her artwork, which I believe is a beautiful way of contrasting the pure black lines. While her art might be seen as provocative, I, on the other hand, believe it is a beautiful way to represent her life and struggles. Every other page of her book is filled with her detailed artwork that helps readers picture how Reinhart felt when writing a specific poem. This engaging book has a red and white color scheme with gold and black detailing on the cover. This beautiful collection of poems managed to make me feel all sorts of emotions with skillful drawings and meaningful words. Accompanied by striking and evocative illustrations, the poems in Swimming Lessons reveal the depths of female experience, and are the work of a storyteller who is coming into her own.Swimming Lessons by Lili Reinhart is a book of poetry told from Reinhart’s diverse perspective about her struggles being a woman in today’s harmful media. They capture what it feels like to be a young woman in today's image-obsessed world, and how to follow your heart even when the odds are stacked against you. Relatable yet deeply intimate, provocative yet comforting, bite-sized yet profound, these beautiful poems are about growing up, falling down, and getting back up again. Through it all, Lili's trademark honesty, optimism, and unique perspective are evident in her first poetry collection. It follows the euphoric beginnings of young love, battling anxiety and depression in the face of fame, and coming to terms with the end of a romance. The debut collection of poetry from Lili Reinhart, the actress and outspoken advocate for mental health awareness and body positivity I seem to be your new favorite novel.One that keeps you up at night,turning my pages.Fingers lingering on me so you don't lose your place.Swimming Lessons is the first collection of poetry from one of the most beloved young actresses working today.
